Hey there. This old crossbow balance is no longer made, but one of our tilt window channel balances should be able to replace it. To know which, can you tell me the diameter of the spring? That will help narrow it down.

Thanks for your help! The spring diameter is 1/2"

In that case you can use our Series 795 Channel Balance as a substitute. The video below explains everything you need to know!
